Eisenkot Rejects Netanyahu's Broad Government Pitch, Vows to Replace October 7 Premier

Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot dismissed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's 'broad national government' appeal on Sunday, calling him 'a prime minister who blindly led to a historic low, who works day and night in division and incitement.' The former IDF chief of staff, whose son Gal fell in Gaza in December 2023, said Netanyahu is 'not worthy of these people and certainly not to preach a moral about unity.' Eisenkot pledged that Israelis 'will replace the one who was in the position of prime minister on the morning of the October 7 massacre and has been running away from responsibility since then.' He vowed instead to build 'a government with a Zionist and national majority, which will take care of Israel's interests.' Polls show Yashar tied with or ahead of Likud ahead of the October vote.
